| D'Agostino Progression pre-amp vs Audio Research Ref6SE Thanks gregm. Very interesting.I use my current pre-amp with Krell Mono 400e, which is a very enjoyable combination.My goal is to go eventually also with the Progression power amp. | |
| DCS Vivaldi stacks vs Esoteric Grandioso G1, D1, P1 stacks Well, Ivan "Masterlu" at Audioafficionado said that the Esoteric K1 was better than the D-02X, and surely also better than the K01X.Also have read about a direct comparison in another system that the K1 is in another league against the K01X and th... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Hi melbguy1,Thanks. As the technology of the S7 is incorporated in the new S5 MK2 they should sound wonderful! | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Hello melbguy1Did you hear TAD Compact Reference One and/or TAD Evolution One versus your Magico S5.I heard Magico S5 last week with Zanden power, 2 X 90 W tubes and found it beautiful, especially very open, lots of detail and not harsh, but also ... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Hi Bo1972,On the same show last weekend I did not like Kef and Monitor Audio either, so a shootout with B&W should be interesting. | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Hi Bo1972,Yes, your description of the sound matched my thoughts largely and this presentation indeed was not the best promotion for B&W. Factors involved as room influence, setup, breakin, elctronics used and others could not be ignored howev... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Hello Bo1972,I was on the very same presentation of the B&W 802 D3 last weekend and I was also wondering why it sounds so bad, very disappointing. Room was indeed not the best.Will listen to 803D3 next week, so hopefully that will be more sati... | |
| Krell Evolution 400e Handymann,I have the Krell 400e and previously I owned Krell KSA 100 and KSA 150 for many years.The 400e has far better slam and bass control over the older Krell's, but also the quality is significant better, with distinctly more details in the l... | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 Usermanual, It was indeed maybe the setup, which was quite different than the setup with which the Q3 was heard.I give it another chance next week, when I am going to listen to S1 and S5 on the D'Agostino Momentum/ARC Ref 5SE/MSB set, so S1 will s... | |
| Pass X350.5 or Krell 302e? Bo1972, Which Krell to which Pass Labs did you compare, as this make a big diffence and this is, as you know very system dependent.My Krell 400E mono with ARC Ref 5SE gives a extremely wide, deep and open image, in which it seems, that my speakers... | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 I heard the S1 with Vitus integrated and higher end Ayon cd.I was also really underwhelmed and stopped listening within 10 minutes. To much low and high which did not sparkle either. The midrange was fairly ok. In total I found it not balanced out... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Hi Musicgeorge,I have a pair of Krell monoblocks 400E with an Audio Research Reference 5SE and it is wonderful. I suspect other combinations of Krell/ARC will work also well together.Best | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Just heard the Magico S5 and S1 combined by a relatively modest set of Audio Research SP17 and DS450 with a Moon cd-player.Cabling Shunyata Anaconda Z-tron.I found the S5 very relaxed, transparent and detailed which gives a natural feeling of just... | |
| Wadia S7i vs Esoteric K-01/K-03 vs MSB @ AudiolabyrinthThanks.I heard Accuphase a few times and was not overly impressed, did not remember which models however.Not much known about Luxman, is indeed quite recommended by some.I choose to go the separate dac-transport route, for which MS... | |
| Wadia S7i vs Esoteric K-01/K-03 vs MSB Hi Gpgr4blu,Thanks!Said by other members that the best MSB stack is way ahead of the Esoteric and even surpas the P02/D-02 combo.So at this moment I would stick with MSB with also having the advantages as mentioned before. |
